GOLOVIN, Alaska – A historic storm blasted western Alaska Friday and Saturday with hurricane-force winds, over 50-foot seas and coastal flooding not seen in decades, leaving homes flooded, roads washed away and power out to a wide area.
What used to be Typhoon Merbok morphed into a powerful northern Pacific storm as it raced nearly due north and pushed through the Aleutian Islands Friday and into the Bering Sea Saturday, bringing a dangerous storm surge inundating coastal villages and towns under several feet of water for hours.

Libs will scream "climate change".
Good God...Alaska is bad enough when it’s -30 and sunny!
Sure glad I’m not there now. It’s a beautiful place to be. (Except about now the dead salmon in the rivers really stinks!)
The forest fires are allowed to burn and sometimes the smoke even makes it hard to breathe everywhere, even on ships. I had to go east and up the road along the pipeline as the fires closed the roads and trains between Anchorage and Fairbanks. It was a long trip around, but absolutely beautiful.
As usual.
Are things OK by you? Please check in!
The fact that this is the worst storm “in decades” means that there was at least one even worse storm decades ago. Before Global Warming and Climate Change were things.
Thanks for your concern. It is a big place. We are hundreds of miles east of the west coast. We have been having a lot of light rain the last few weeks. It is more annoying than problematic. Winter is late this year. We are usally cold and snowy now, but not this year. It has been mostly in the upper thirties. It is unusual but not unprecedented. Many years ago the lawn was green in mid november. Other than the fact that we get less sun as winter approaches, our weather mainly depends on the large scale wind patterns.
Where’s Sig?
What is the difference between :
A Typhoon
A Hurricane
A Cyclone
???
All are caused by climate change—and if just agreed to starve in the dark so our masters could live in luxury all of those nasty storms would all go away!

RE: Location
So, if it’s in the East of the USA, it’s called a Hurricane, if it’s in the west, it’s called a Typhoon? What about a Cyclone?
I think Hurricanes spin to the left, Typhoons spin to the right, and a Cyclone is a typhoon that spins to the left like a hurricane.
A Typhoon A Hurricane A Cyclone
???
It's all geographical, hurricanes in the atlantic and east of the international dateline in the pacific, typhoons west of the international dateline in the pacific, and cyclones in the indian ocean.
One of those quirky, wonky, nerdy, meterological ways.
I thought hurricane north of the equator, cyclone south. Called hurricanes east and west.
But what do I know?
They are generally the South Pacific.
It absolutely is the result of climate change, rain today, sunny tomorrow. Storms this weekend, clear and crisp next week.
See? The climate changed.
If it’s in the New World (either Atlantic or eastern Pacific), it’s a hurricane. If it’s in the western Pacific (Asia/Australia), it’s a typhoon. “Cyclone” is used for storms that are only in the Indian Ocean; it’s also the generic term for hurricanes and typhoons, etc.
The NYT blamed Trump.
